Brilliant!

Product: Lighters IM Corona PipeMaster Black Matte
An excellent lighter from function to finish. Probably the best pipe smoking investment (besides some great pipes) I've made in the last 10 years.
Exceptional lighter

Product: Lighters IM Corona PipeMaster Black Matte
The PipeMaster is an extremely high quality, well made lighter. I’ve owned three other IM Corona lighters, one Double Corona and two Old Boys, and this is as well built as all the others.
This lighter is easy to fill, the ergonomics are great, an... Read More
d having a built in tamper is really handy. A refill lasts a long time, and never worrying about replacing a flint is a nice bonus.
The only downside is that the finish is easy to mess up. However, I’d rather have a reliable lighter than a beautiful and perfect-looking lighter, so I’m not docking it any points for that. I’m kind of hard on lighters anyway. Read Less
Magnificent!

Product: Lighters IM Corona PipeMaster Black Matte
I believe this to be the best lighter I've ever lain my hands on! It is comfortable to use and the tamper locks into place and is ready for action. I have zero complaints and this lighter could simply last a lifetime!
Durable and Reliable

Product: Lighters IM Corona PipeMaster Black Matte
I purchased this lighter a couple of months ago and I'll say it has been a pleasant surprise. I have purchased a few "luxury" lighters over the years and they were for the most part not worthy of their cost. The PipeMaster lighter has rever... Read More
sed that trend for me - I smoke between 2 - 4 pipes each day and this lighter has consistently been my fire source, both at home and on the road, since I bought it. Its solid construction feels good in the hand and given the slender size of the lighter it has a satisfying heft to it. Most importantly though, this lighter gives me a flame nearly (95%+) every time I spark it. Worth every penny of its cost, highly recommended. Read Less
I'm good

Product: Lighters IM Corona PipeMaster Black Matte
Super well thought out and easy to use lighter, with adequate fuel tank. Build quality/fit and finish, is impressive. I am very happy with it, and will buy the same model again if I lose this one.
Fantastic "permanent" lighter at a good price point.

1-year update:
We've been running these lighters for a year and they're going strong. Some notes:
- I used my tamp heavily and it's slightly bent and doesn't fit inside the lighter anymore. I still use it, but it's about ready for the trash. I ... Read More
won't replace it as the slot the tamp goes into is also gunky, difficult to clean even with the right tools, and is basically useless.
- My fiance does not use her tamp. It works like new, and is largely just used to adjust the flame.
- The matte black finish scrapes and scratches off, revealing a golden-yellow brass underneath. This can be a good thing, if you want to repaint your lighter. Or a bad thing if it bugs you. Prefer a different finish if it bugs you.
- There's a pretty dramatic difference in reliability between my unit and my fiance's unit. The number of activations needed to light the flame can be aggrevating on hers, even freshly filled; while mine lights within one to three activations as long as the flame is adjusted well to the amount of fuel left. Both lighters still work well, though.
- I have had some success improving the above problem by adjusting the sparker-unit (I don't know what it's called.) The unit has proven easy to self-service.
- Given their performance so far, I expect these to last another five-to-ten years, even with less-than-gentle handling.
- I may get another in a different color. Read Less
